A couple things: down loaded Syrinscape after the “atmosphere” episode. Subscribe to the monthly adventure path option. I am impressed with what I am hearing so far. Also any progress on the stretch goals of the Kickstarter? Did you finish “A Gnome in need?” how bout’ the shout outs?
PS. hope you guys receive some free materials from Paizo … I have bought several items based upon your reviews and I am primarily a 3.5 player still (particularly like Ultimate campaign and would not have discovered drive thru rpg as early as I did if not for your show)
Keep up the good work!
